Load data 7.7x58 Japanese

I am setting up a load for a friend who has a great looking Japanese Ariska (sp?) rifle. I could only find some Speer .311 150 gr. Sp bullets in this area so far, but can't find any load data for this bullet. Sierra has something similar but I'm not sure about mixing bullets and loads. I've contacted Speer but their tech support is out of town for awhile. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have Norma brass that I've resized and set up with WLR primers.

The Hodgdon website has lots of loads for the 7.7 X 58mm using various bullets and powders. This should work just fine. Take care...
